The attack on New York, that's him." ― Bruce Banner to Tony Stark He invades planets, he takes what he wants, he wipes out half the population. Thanos knew that they lied but decided to let them believe that they convinced him. He also sent his daughters, Gamora and Nebula to find the Soul Stone but they lied about being unable to find it. He managed to locate the Mind Stone to which he hid inside a Scepter. He learned about the Infinity Stones and upon learning about their capabilities to control the universe, Thanos decided that he needed to retrieve them to accomplish his lifelong mission. The Quest BeginsĮventually, Thanos realized that he would never be able to balance the universe through military strength alone as there were too many lifeforms. During an invasion of the world of Zen-Whoberi and the extinction of half of the Zehoberei race, he adopted Gamora who quickly became his favorite daughter and whom he genuinely grew to love. During his conquest, he would adopt orphans from the race he conquered from which he formed the Black Order. Thanos quickly became one of the most feared warlords in the galaxy even ruling from the Sanctuary. On every planet he invaded, he would kill off half of their population and take what spoils he gained from his conquest. Using his vast intellect and immense superhuman capabilities, Thanos quickly built his army and set out on his quests to stem the tide of life.

If nothing was done, then the universe will be destroyed.

Thanos killing half of Zen-Whoberi's populationĭeeply impacted by this event, Thanos came to believe that the huge influx of life was rapidly consuming the universe's finite resources. Not long after, the world fell and Thanos became the last surviving Titan. The Titans ultimately dismissed Thanos' drastic plan and called him mad. Desperate to save his world, Thanos proposed that they kill half of the world's population so the quick consumption of resources can be halted and thus spare their world and race from annihilation. The overpopulation rapidly depleted the world's limited resources and the Titans faced extinction. Due to the race's immortal lifespan, the world quickly became overpopulated. The seeds of the conflict were sowed on Titan, the homeworld of the race of Titans. And what I predicted came to pass." ― Thanos and Doctor Strange And when we faced extinction, I offered a solution." " Titan was like most planets too many mouths, not enough to go around. Although the Avengers finally killed Thanos weeks later on Planet 0259-S, Thanos' act of destroying the Infinity Stones effectively allowed him to make sure the damage remains done, preserving his victory until the Blip in 2023. Despite their efforts and having managed to kill off all of Thanos' children and much of the forces he unleashed upon them, Thanos ultimately emerged victorious as he successfully collected all six Infinity Stones and, despite the best efforts of Thor, completed his quest to wipe out half of the universe. Taking advantage of the Destruction of Asgard and Avengers Civil War, Thanos began a bloody campaign to retrieve the Infinity Stones and gather them into his Infinity Gauntlet.įacing this universal menace, the Avengers, the Masters of the Mystic Arts, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and the armed forces of Wakanda challenged Thanos' mad crusade to prevent him from completing the Infinity Gauntlet. The conflict began when Thanos initiated his plan to gather all of the Infinity Stones to complete his quest for the eradication of half of all life in the universe. The Infinity War was the galaxy-wide spanning conflict for the Infinity Stones. But if someone does attempt to do so, we will need to prepare for the greatest battle this universe has ever seen." ― Doctor Strange and Wong So end of day, as long as no one finds all these stones and puts them together, we're in the clear."
